Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
On Monday 27th January 2020 You aired a report into "killer smart motorways"
During this report you're reporter can be seen driving with their hands off the steering wheel and talking to camera and not paying due care and attention to the road ahead, thereby posing danger to other road users.
The driver can also be seen contravening Red "X" signals on the motorway network, again another offence.
Please confirm the following:
1) BBC Policy on driving and streaming / recording in vehicles being driven, and reporting. Specifically sections covering driving within highway code guidance and compliance with Road Traffic Act. Also BBC's driving at work / for work policy and any risk assessment conducted and confirmation the reporter has signed for and agreed to BBC's driving for work policy
2) Date, location of filming and registration number of vehicle used.
3) What the BBC propose to do with regards to their journalist driving dangerously committing at least 2 separate offences.
4) Confirmation that BBC have checked and confirmed that the reporter holds a full UK driving licence, the vehicle has full business insurance cover, and if required an MOT and has current vehicle excise duty in place, and confirmation of BBC's policy for checking driving documents for employees using their vehicles for business purposes.
5) Whether the BBC will assist the police service and provide any / all evidence required should the matter be reported to the police with regards to dangerous driving by the reporter.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Bennett

My initial request has been declined due to broadcasting exemption. While i can potentially accept that section 2 of my request MAY fall under this exemption none of the other queries do and are policy related which does not fall outside of the exemption.

Please review my request and provide the requested information
